We will bring you more details of this accident as they become available.

UPDATE:

This was a secondary accident. There was an accident about a mile ahead, that slowed down traffic (a trailer had overturned about a mile down the road).The semi wasn't able to slow down in time, then lost control and hit the median, sending debris on both sides of the highway (mainly the westbound). It also ruptured its gas tank, spilling diesel fuel on the road. The debris and fuel is now in the process of being cleaned up. Westbound lanes will remain closed, until the roadway is cleared.
